Southampton vs Tottenham: Prediction, kick off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, latest odds today

Antonio Conte’s side lead fifth-placed Newcastle by just one point after the latter’s win over Nottingham Forest on Friday night and must leave the south coast with a win if they are to remain in control of the top four.

It was also Forest who gave Spurs the perfect platform to secure a much-needed victory last week. So poor for most of the first half, Spurs recovered from a difficult week to breathe new life into their Champions League challenge.

Southampton vs Tottenham Team News

Saints boss Ruben Selles has confirmed that former Spurs defender Kyle Walker-Peters needs a fitness test after picking up a knock in their loss to Brentford. Ainsley Maitland-Niles is also believed not to be fully fit, meaning James Bree looks most likely to start at right-back.

For Spurs, few changes are expected. Ivan Perisic could replace Ben Davies and Emerson Royal is back in light training, although Conte is unlikely to tinker too much.

Southampton vs Tottenham Prediction

Spurs have to win this. The Saints may tend to improve their game when playing against the biggest teams in the division, but anything other than three points would be a disaster for Conte.

Tottenham won 2-1.
